"benefits": "The proposed hybrid system will serve as the primary propulsion system for a small launch vehicle, offering a safe, low-cost, and logistically simple opportunity for delivery of small payloads into LEO. The ride-share method is currently the most reliable and most often used option available for delivering CubeSat's (5 kg) and other small satellite payloads (< 180 kg) into Low Earth Orbit. However, it is anticipated that the number of small satellites delivered to LEO will continue to increase, and thus cheaper and more readily available transport options are required. The hybrid concept also allows for throttling, making it a feasible design for upper stage systems. Additionally, the innovative system offers scale up capabilities that would allow for development of a hybrid propulsion system for launch vehicles carrying large satellite payloads.
